Starts with the same archanai - "neenga naallave irukka maatting....un 4 pOnnum eppOvum kanniya un veet le ye thaan irukkum" The A.Malai clan minus A.Malai adjourn to the conference hall - aka Nadu theru - so what is the matter??? The arai loosu played postwoman - the lady who is shouting has a daughter who eloped
with a worthless driver fellow - thanks to arai loosu - obviously arai loosu was conned in to delivering a letter which outlined the eloping plan. Meena mothufies the arai loosu ( unakkum parenting lessons venum - kirukku mathiri valarthuttu, ippO enna hitting??) Arai loosu takes over the glycerin bottle from Meena. Tamizh pacifies
the kirukku and apologizes to the shouting lady " Vasanthi therinji ithai seyyalai mma. You know that she is an arai kirukku, right??" The lady leaves after doling out more saabams. The A.Malai clan cries for the benefit of street watchers..and then adjourn inside - to continue the RKO !!! Meena prays to the God and lists all her woes " so, what more do you have in store for us??? Just make sure that Tamizh's wedding goes as per plan, ok??"
Kurukshthram - KK is serving Muthu and his sister. Karthik walks in after water beating and refuses food. Muthu asks amma "ungalukku A.Malai nnu yaraiyavathu theriyuma??" and then goes on to narrate the roobai note archanai episode. KK has no clue. Just then
Prema's mom runs in with a stick in hand - the target for the other end of the stick is Prema herself. Well, Prema is chased for loosing the finger ring. Karthik sweats and sends out signals asking Prema to save him. Finally Muthu says that he will replace the ring
"oru poun ring vaangi tharren, enakku munnadi Prema vai adikkara velai vendam.." Love oozing out of his eyes but Prema has eyes for the food on the table. Prema tells Muthu's sister "na than unakku anni, so en kitte respect kaattu, ok??" Muthu is all jelly.
Swathi has some doubts - wants to clear with amma - "amma, the groom's side had no conditions. But you still told akka that there are some, pray why??" Amma says that she had to plan. "nalaikki Tamizh um antha groom side um nera pesum pOthu, conditions OK ya nnu kettu tta?? athukku thaan rendu pakkamum konjam prepare panninen. Nalla padiya ellam nadakkanum.... " Swathi says that all will go as planned. Back to Kurukshthram - that saamiyar aka dad of KS - comes ...outside KS ' house...
Freeze

The old man comes to the gate and stares at the house. (On a personal note, the facade of the house resembles the facade of my father's ancestral home, which has been sold, and for a minute, I wondered if they were using the same house, since that house has been used for many film shootings in Kerala, but on closer scrutiny, there are differences, so this is not the same house) Inside the house, Saravana is calling the taxi driver to hurry up, mom asks him to eat something, he says he is late and will eat at the station, and leaves. Paati comes in, looks at her vethilai petti, sees that there is no vethilai and asks g.daughter Meena to go and get her some vethilai, paaku and suNNaambu. Meena goes outside, sees the old man and asks him what he wants, does he want food, etc.? He does not say anything, continues to stare at the house, so she goes and calls her Periamma (KK? what does that stand for? I must have missed the part where Roja named her KK and gave the reason)
Periamma comes out, asks the old man what he wants, he remains silent, she looks at him and suddenly it dawns on her - this is her FIL, and she asks Meena to go and call her Periappa and Paati. Periappa comes running out, and so does Paati. Paati comes out with some filmi dialogs like she would be satisfied if her uyir goes out at his feet and so on. Periappa asks thatha to come inside, he goes and sits on the thinnai, and says that his mother told him that he was born there, and so the thinnai will do for him. He asks for some food, so Periamma goes and gets him some food. (Apparently the menu for that day is sambar, poriyal, and so on!) He takes out a coconut shell and she serves him rice and sambar in that. Just then, a taxi draws up and Saravana gets out. He goes inside to get something, and Periappa tells him that this is his thatha and asks him to get the old man's aseervatham. He tells Periappa that Saravana is going for an important interview which will give him a promotion at work and a big salary increase. After some hesitation, he bends down and the old man takes the food and throws it on him. Saravana is angry because his face and shirt are ruined, so he goes inside to change, saying he is going to be late now for that train. He tells them to send the old man away. After he leaves, the old man also gets up, saying his job is over, overriding Paati's protests, and leaves.
The whole family goes to the gate to see thatha walking away without a backward glance, and as he is going, Muthukumar comes in. Periappa tells him that he just passed thatha, Paati is busy weeping, and MK turns to look at the old man's receding figure.
A taxi draws up and Saravana gets down. He is angry because he missed his train because of the old man, and just then Meena is listening to the news and she calls them all to the TV. It seems that the train from Chennai to Kovai met with an accident outside Arkonam, and Paati realizes that Saravana is alive because he was prevented from catching the train by the old man. KS offers thanks to his father's picture, while the old man is seen sitting on the steps of some temple.
Tamil's house, everyone is getting ready for the girl seeing ceremony. AM calls for Meena, because he can't find his angavastram, she finds it, he puts it on and says he is going to his friend's house because there is a girl seeing ceremony going on there, and leaves. Kavitha is getting everything ready, she goes to see if Tamil is ready, but she sees Vasanthi sitting and applying makeup in front of the mirror instead of getting Tamil dressed up. She scolds Vasanthi, Vasanthi fusses, they make up. Meena is upset that hubby is going out, Sada comes in, she tells him about it, he says "Vidu akka". Kavitha comes there, sees Sada and tells him that there is a rowdy in his neighborhood who is following her, if she catches him, he will get a slipperaala adi from her, so Sada escapes from her and goes inside.
The groom's people come in, they ask about AM, and Meena, Sada, Kavitha and everyone does this rolling of eyes and looking at each other business.
Thodarum ....

Girl seeing padalam - the groom's side arrives with some fruit platters. The A.Malai clan minus A.Malai extend a warm welcome. After the camera does a "catch me if you can " round at all the uneasy faces - missing A.Malai is the sole reason !! - the girl is seen by all and sundry. Tamizh wants to have a word with the groom. The 3 1/2 feet would be MIL jumps - "payyane kekkalai !!" "payyan" says that he also wants to talk - " avanga munnadi kettu ttanga...I like that.." The girl and boy adjourn to the backyard - Meena frets, Sada pacifies.
Well, Tamizh just asks "my conditions are ok??" Groom in return asks "and mine??" Sada intervenes a few times and avoids any further mishap. Groom's dad puts his foot down "ayya vOda neenga ellam enge veedu paarkka varum pOthu date fix pannalam, ok??" Another round of catch me if u can !!!
Saravanan goes to his office - every one welcomes him - clapping their hands. he goes in to meet his boss - Shailaja - who is in tears. It is obvious that she carries a torch for Sara. She has not eaten any thing..blah blah.... Sara makku is not able to see the bulb burning in her head. She wants to go out and eat but Sara says that his dad is well respected in this town - "ipdi ladies kooda thaniya hotel llam pOnathu illai.." But finally agrees to go out with her. Office peon wags
his tongue - ayyo pathikkichi pathikicchi - BG By Roja.
Back to A.Malai household. A.Malai is back from his friend's house and brags that the alliance got fixed just because of him. Sada musters courage and asks - "unga own daughter girl seeing epdi pOchunnu kekka kooda illiye??" A.Malai is categorical "why should I?? It doe not meet with my approval anyways !!" Another catch me if u can round by the camera..and freeze on Tamizh

Sada unleashes the truth... it was all a drama conceived , produced & directed by him. Meena is surprised & happy.
EK greets them warmly. His wife as usual has a kadu kadu face. She gets irritated at AM's bloated ego & the excessive pantha he puts on during conversation. EK 's over politeness further increases Mrs. EK's B P. Talk, then , turn towards engagement date...meena promises to fix one in the coming month. EK is happy at his ex boss' consent for the alliance , asks wife to offer them coffee , tiffin.
